wineStory/title

My fascination for wine started with a bicycle holiday in France, when I was still a student of languages. We visited several wineries in different regions. I was impressed with the fact that the liquid in my glass expressed the soil on which the vines have been growing. In my studies of languages, I focused more and more on translations of wine literature, and after graduating, I started an agency for communication on wine. It is called Wine&Partners.

Working with the most famous winemakers from all over the world is a fantastic job and I adore it – but I always felt the need of going even deeper. I wanted to make my own wine! It took me quite a long time and many, many travels, to accept that it would be neither in France or in Italy where I would produce my own wine… But that destiny had a different plan for me. I returned to the place of my childhood. To a forgotten region, where my grandmother had a tiny tiny vineyard of 0,17 hectares, digged out by my father long time ago.
